Took 25 minutes to take our order
We came in immediately after opening. We were seated pretty quick butthen got a waitress that only had our table. We ran out of drinks for quite a while then when the food came I ordered ribs the ribs are pathetic it looked like they order their ribs off of temu. We hurried up and ate just to get out of that nasty place. Even when the bill came the bill was incorrect. DO NOT GO TO THIS RESTERAUNT unless you want to spend too much money for crap food.
I’m so disappointed with all the food. The pork, Chicken, Macaroni, Greens, Corn on the cob, Garlic Bread and dessert Banana pudding was all so bland. It’s as if we picked up the food from the hospital no seasoning it’s like they didn’t even use salt and pepper on anything. Any barbecue place should be able to make a macaroni and cheese that’s fire. Needless to say this place won’t last long if they don’t tighten up and get someone who knows how to make southern Bar-B-Q. I had to leave a bad review but $100 is a lot to spend on food that’s sub par. The banana pudding was just as bad. Not sure how you mess that up. I heard this place was under new management and making changes. These are really bad changes. The store front looks much better but please tighten up in the kitchen. Never been to a barbecue place that struck out in every piece of food.
Best find on our way to Orlando. Food was delicious but the service by Delainie (spelling?) our server was superb. The place was clean and it looked like it has been recently renovated. It was the perfect quick stop to enjoy a delicious BBQ. The prices are great and their specials are amazing.
Old time BBQ and comfortable ambiance. Great, friendly service!
Let's talk about Woody's and why they now suck. My family and I thought we'd give them one more shot after our last meal there and let me tell you, we should just had Burger King. We got the Meal For Two which was enough for the 3 of us. First let's talk about the good, the slaw wasn't too bad, the toast was good, and the brisket had some nice taste to it. Now the bad. The smoked chicken was dryer than a two day old Popeye's biscuit. The skin had no flavor, not even smoke, no taste to the meat ether. The ribs were over cooked and the ends were dry and hard to chew, which caused my mom to choke on it. The order of mashed potatoes and gravy.. one large container that was mostly potatoes and a very small serving of gravy on top. Baked beans over cooked and had a vinegary after taste. We are no longer eating at Woody's and I feel they are going downhill faster than the Roadrunner on Redbull.
Solid barbecue. Great prices

Server was very attentive. My two boys and I ordered the “Taste of Woody’s.” Server came back, said they were out of brisket. Said we could get extra ribs, so we did that. Our plates came with two ribs that were tender, but zero flavor. Tasted like it was boiled six hours earlier. The sliced turkey and sliced pork was cold and tough. Don’t know what happened to the chicken, wasn’t on any of our plates. The fried okra was nearly burnt with no flavor. This was in the evening, place was nearly empty. The beans were good. Expected a better quality of food for the price.

Old building that needs care bathrooms very poor and dirty. Got the the taste of Woody's entree. The meats were very dry with not much taste meats were very fatty. There are only two BBQ sauces on the table both were not good. Waitress are friendly, prices are a bit high for what you get. I will not return and do not recommend this BBQ restaurant.

Sorry to say first and last tie we will visit. Went with a family of six and I wanted a good burger. Ordered our food of chicken strips, burger and three Taste of Woody's which is $60 by themselves. The waitress who was very kind came back and said that they had no burgers so I ordered pork. She then came back and said that there was not brisket which is the best on the Taste of Woody's. In its place they gave us and extra rib on each plate. The brisket is the most expresive meat on the plate and there was no adjustment to the price. The ribs were good but the turkey and pork was cold. It is not like it was closing time it was 5:30. After we ate part of the meal we realized there was chicken on the three plates. $60 for these meals with no brisket and no chicken. We paid $100 to eat here and it will never happen again. They say if a restaraunt is empty do not go. I should have followed that rule.
1-no burgers
2-no brisket
3-did not get the chicken. Worst restaruant experience ever

This place is going down, fast.
Cold ribs, cold chicken. Plates not brought to the table.
I miss the old owner, the second time since the change of ownership, second disappointment.
Erased from the places where to eat locally.
